    There was no parking near the hotel. It was a bit of hassel and then we found d out that there was no Charing for electric cars. The electric when and did not come back for a long time.

    We had a view of mechanical equipment and we were on the 4th floor. Rooms were pretty small, OK for 1-2 nites but no place to put much clothing. Bathroom also tight. If you are a large person, probably should upgrade to bigger room!

    Staff and breakfast were very good. It was close to transportation and just a couple blocks from the water. Room was quiet.

    As a British guest I would have liked a kettle in the room. The complimentary tea in reception was just tepid water and tea bag. Gave me milk but it was off and floated on the top.

    The location was ideal for me. Close to my work venue and bus station. The bed was super comfortable

    Location isn't great but that's not really the fault of the hotel. There's quite some street racing (tuned cars with modified exhausts) at night, Does not give a safe feeling. I am surprised that the police was not patrolling this area.

    The lady at the reception was very helpful, she bothered to call another hotel to check if the (other) parking garage was okay to be used. She was very friendly.

    It was fine for the price, but just an ordinary hotel.

    Location was perfect for us as we needed to be close for bus. Also good for exploring river area. Lots of places to eat nearby. Staff friendly and helpful, and packed an early breakfast, as we had to leave to catch bus. Comfortable beds

    The view from the hotel room window was unfortunately just of pipework, so it felt like there wasn’t a window at all. However, the rest of the facilities were good :-)

    Great breakfast, small comfortable room, but toilet in very awkward position
    • Leisure trip

    Small bathrooms are acceptable if well designed, but this one was not. You could not sit on the toilet directly, but had to twist your body into an awkward position. When seated, legs were partially under the sink. Finding the light switch was problematic too. It was not on the bathroom wall, but on the wall at the entrance to the hotel room. Having said this, the bathroom appeared to have been renovated. There was a good size sink, and make-up mirror, and the shower had good pressure.

    Our room was small but comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with many hot and cold choices. The staff member at Reception was lovely.

    Could not check in earlier and I did not feel a lot of support from their side to help with it. I'm not claiming that they should have had a room but some follow up from them would have been better.

    It was super centric, great rooms, comfortable beds and powerful hairdryer (if you have long and voluminous hair it's very much appreciated), well assorted breakfast and delicious food. Friendly staff
